Black soap has been used for centuries in Africa. It is used to treat various skin afflictions such as allergies and excema. Most importantly to keep African skin moist and shiny. New born babies in Yoruba communies are traditionally bathed with ose dudu as it is called bevsuse it is mild and safe. Black soap does not contain all the harmful chemicals found in everyday and luxury soaps. I found out that it is quite easy to make as long as you have all the ingridients.
What you need:
200g Native soap
50g Osun
50g Kaun
2 teaspoons of Epo pupa
1 teaspoon Olive oil
Some water about 4 teaspoons
A metal mixing bowl
A rollong pin
A chopping board
Foil paper or cling film
Procedure:
Grind the kaun, osun using the rollong pin to break them up. Roll and grind until they become powdery. Pour the mixture into the hard native soap.
Add a teaspoon of palm oil and a spoon of olive oil.
Add a few drops of water. Place metal bowl on the cooker. Heat at low temerature until the mixture is black and soft. Cut pieces of cling film or foil and spoon portions out. Or use a mould to form a nice shape. Leave to harden and your soap is ready@
